We’ve made it to two dozen! This October will be the 24th Saint Paul Crawl in downtown & Lowertown! Come and visit with the resident and guest artists who have made this grassroots event into such a success. Art lovers of all ages are invited to visit artists’ working spaces to view a wide range of art and the historic architecture of Saint Paul. Special events, music and more, as well as always-surprising unexpected entertainments add to the weekend’s ambiance.

One of the largest events of its type in the Twin Cities, the St. Paul Art Crawl is a self-guided tour of over 200 artists' studios and galleries in more than 22 buildings in St. Paul neighborhoods. Art in all media and prices ranges is available for sale, with something for everyone. Fine arts, crafts, music and performance, photography, printmaking, textile arts, painting, bookbinding, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, computer arts, ceramics, chocolates, and more will be available; with artists ranging from students from the Creative Arts High School to the elderly. Questions about the art and the artists’ work and process are always welcome. Most artwork will be for sale.

The Art Crawl continues to be based in Lowertown and downtown St. Paul, but is now extending all the way up University Avenue to include the new Carleton Lofts artist buildings, and to Harriet Island to encompass the ACVR Warehouse, which now houses artists. Area galleries that will be open for the Art Crawl include The Grand Hand Gallery on Grand Avenue, the Artist Merchantile, Evoke Gallery, Hosko Gallery and Master Framers in downtown St. Paul. The Minnesota Museum of American Art, and the American Assoc. of Woodturners Gallery in the Landmark Center will also be participating. Families with children are always welcome – “Art Rule(r)s” family activity to benefit the Art Crawl available for kids (and adults) to create their own art. Details on buildings below.

Celebrate Fall with home and garden furnishings, art for your walls or gifts for every member of the family!
